Army November 11, 2010
By Graham
McBean
A SURPRISE assault from Air Force blasted
a shell-shocked Army to take out the 2010
Australian Services Cricket Association National
Championships in Canberra on November 3.
Defending champions Army batted first and
amassed 141 but were bowled out nine overs short of
their allocated 50.
Army looked like they would still get up when
they had the Air Force 8 for 96.
But batters Flg-Off Jimmy Lee and LAC Aaron
Goodwin took it to the Army bolwers to put on the
required 44 runs.
The ninth-wicket stand transformed the game into
a scorcher in wet and windy Canberra.
Army captain Lt-Col James Brownlie said it
was disappointing from Army but it was "one of the
grander contests" in service cricket for many years.
"It really came down to a gutsy, fantastic effort by
the last two RAAF batters," Lt-Col Brownlie said.
"For them to put on 42 runs when they had lost 8
for 96 really was an incredibly good effort."
Lt-Col Brownlie said Army was looking to put
on somewhere in the vicinity of 230 plus from their
stand, but quality Air Force opening bowlers had
other ideas.
He said Army's 141 was always going to be dif-
ficult to defend and it was the early onslaught in the
opening bowling spell that had Army struggling to
repeat the form they had shown against Navy.
"That derailed us for want of a better word.
"Really, it was always going to be difficult to
defend."
The final cliffhanger between Army and Air Force
was preceded by lopsided game on November 1 and
2. Air Force clobbered the Navy on November 1
amassing 255 runs while the sailors could only man-
age 109.
Army versus Navy on November 2 was equally
one-sided with Army putting on 254 in their innings
and Navy responding with 113.
Despite the disappointment, Army had some out-
standing performances in both matches.
Sgt Marty Blackman slammed 124 runs against
Navy with Cpl Jimmy Wright adding 36 in his stand.
Bowling honours against Navy went to Sgt Ian
Roberts bagging 3-27.
Army's outstanding performer against Air Force
was Cpl Cory Baker with 5-23 in his allocated overs,
which looked like it might have done the trick for
Army.
"Cory put in a phenomenal performance with the
ball -- he almost got us home."
